Chemistry Everyday Ethical Dilemma report

Each student is given a unique case study about solvents used for a product or a process.

Evaluate the environmental and human health impacts of the chemicals used for the product or process and provide a response about whether the chemicals used for the product or process should be changed.   (Students can use resources such as the OSHA website http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/solvents/index.html in doing the evaluation.)
